Custom Redirects in Blogger
Over time, most blogs may go through many changes, like posts being
added or deleted. In some occasions, you don't want people to get 404
messages when they surf to posts or pages that don't exist on your blog
and instead, make all requests to a specific link to be redirected to
another page. One of the best way to avoid broken links and keep your
traffic flowing in the right direction is setting custom redirects via
the Blogger Custom Redirects tool.
In this post, we will see how to set custom redirects for Blogger posts and redirect an old URL to a new URL. But before redirecting any URL, you must know that there are two types of redirects:
A 302 redirect means that the page has moved temporarily. This redirect doesn't pass the URL value to the new location and instead, it will take the visitors to an appropriate location so that you aren't showing them a 404 page not found, or an error page. You can use a 302 redirect for coming soon pages or maintenance pages.
A 301 redirect means that a page has moved permanently to a new location. Use the 301 redirect when you deleted or changed the URL of your post. In most instances, the 301 redirects are always recommended for SEO because they will pass link juice (ranking power) to the redirected page and visitors will also benefit from this. However, 301s aren't suitable when you change your custom-domain, because it only supports redirection within the same blog, not to an external URL.
Now that we've established which is which, let's see how to set custom redirects for Blogger posts:

<!-- Note: don't tell people to `click` the link, just tell them that it is a link. -->
If you are not redirected automatically, follow the <a href="https://www.google.co.in">link to Visit the Page</a>
